Kočka a město - CDmp3

Tokyo is the largest prison in the world – thirty million inhabitants. And yet they have a chance. In a hive densely overgrown with skyscrapers, one cannot see happier horizons, and so one often struggles as a loner, a desperate person, or a wreck. However, when a certain calico cat with green eyes, which a sought-after tattoo artist has depicted on a girl's skin, slips off the customer's back and begins to weave through the Japanese metropolis like a vagabond, a commotion erupts in Nick Bradley's intricately woven narrative strand, greater than that on Shinjuku Street. The selfless beast brings Tokyoites together to reconnect severed threads and takes on more than nine of the fabled lives. A homeless person sleeping in an abandoned capsule hotel, a linguist lost in translation and in herself, a young man bogged down in the virtual world, a macho revived by assembly line production, even a burnt-out detective and other human wrecks get a chance to feel freedom again, thanks to the extraordinary kitty radiating from the magical creature. The tangled fates of Tokyo's lost souls will delight fans of the magical poetics of Haruki Murakami and David Mitchell. It will also please cat lovers, who have been weaving our stories softly for centuries. Narrators: Ondřej Brousek, Otakar Brousek Jr., Pavla Beretová Length of recording: 10 hours 17…
